I have a free ticket to see Submarine so will go later this week.
I saw Spoorloos years ago and had a similar reaction to Caesar. The tension builds, but the ending genuinely shocked me.
Watched Barney's version on Saturday night. Paul Giamatti was brilliant. A magnificent performance.
This film reminded me of About Schmidt in that the main character was such an obnoxious bloke that it can be hard to empathise with him, yet while I hated About Schmidt, I loved this. Maybe Paul Giamatti gives the character warmth.
8.5/10

Probably the best movie i've seen at the cinemas this year. I really like movies that change it up go from one genre to another. I felt this movie successfully transitioned from comedy to drama quite impressively. Giamatti and Hoffman really impressive in this.
You seen American Splendor? Another great Giamatti flick.
Seen three movies in two days.
Poetry 2010 - the most impressive film i've seen for a long time, beautifully filmed and subtly powerful. The ending is open to interpretation but extremely well done. Korean films continue to impress me. 9/10
Submarine - Didn't really live up to the hype. I found the first half really good but as it went on became quite boring and the characters didn't really appeal to me. 6/10
Johnny English Reborn - These movies are best seen with friends.
Was shaping up as possibly the worst movie i've ever seen but the ending was actually pretty well done. Stupidity Tries 4/10

A Large Portion, Yes
Just watched Touching The Void again, having first seen it a number of years back.
Extremely chilling, regardless of pun. The honesty of the interviews almost Duigan-like.
He says at one point : "You have to make a decision, even if it's the wrong one. You have to do something." Really, really, potent.

Fright Night 3D
Big fan of Tom Holland's 1985 original so I just had to check it out.
As expected, another inferior remake and another 3D flick where the only reason for the glasses was to jack-up the ticket price.
Two highlights:
1. Cameo by Chris Sarandon, the original Jerry Dandridge, suburban vampire.
2. Closing title credits sequence.
And McLovin was pretty funny as 'Evil Ed'.
Two fangs.

Yep - Love American Splendor. Amazing that he is now a lead actor. Much like Phillip Seymour-Hoffman. Honed his craft as a support, then goes from strength to strength as a lead.
I hated Sideways though ! Films about very flawed people are interesting to watch. Unless I feel some empathy for the character, I find it hard to enjoy the film. Barney's Version and American Splendor fall on the positive side for me and rate both films highly, yet Sideways and About Schmidt, I found the
characters so obnoxious, I simply hated them and did not enjoy the films.

Thor - Thought it was great. Could have used possibly a little more action but really enjoyed it. Anyone know if they have a sequel planned?
The Prestige - Not the first viewing but still as brilliant as if it was. In my top 5 movies ever I reckon.
Your Highness - Complete crap. Can't believe so many 'known' actors agreed to do it.

A serious quality yet underrated movie.
May have mentioned it here previously, but Oldboy is a must see.

In light of The Lion King being #1 on IMDB at the moment I thought it watch it for the first time in over 10 years. Still as brilliant as ever
